What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on plastering my 3 room house and fixing metal door and glass windows for 47,000 KES since we always wanted to do this as a priority but then it has been hard to implement since we get a little money which we have not been able to save towards our housing project.Thank you.
